=«B» - Q- ANNUAL J COMMUNITY GYMNASIUM This year, through the eo-operative help of all liberal minded citizens of the community, one epoch in the history of the Angola schools was brought to a close and another of broader usefulness to the community was ushered in. The plan of the Hoard of Education to construct a new vocational building, incorporating a gymnasium and auditorium, could not be realized, di e to the fact that the cost of construction exceeded the bonding capacity of the School City by more than +20,000.00. The demand on the part of the students and patrons of the school for a gymnasium was very general, but hope for obtaining the coveted object was waning when a courageous citizen voiced the sentiment of the community and called a meeting of those interested in building by voluntary subscription a gymnasium for the use of the school and various organizations of the e. mmunity. It took the prophetic vision of Major Guy Shauglniiss to foresee the possibility of actually building a community gymnasium. He had a plan drafted and called a meeting at the court house of all citizens. The fact that only a few people attended the meeting was no indication of a lack of interest. The plan was presented and served as a basis for discussion. A committee consisting of A. Redding, chairman; Guy Shaughniss and II. B. Allman was then selected to determine the actual needs and to revise the plans. A few days later, a second meeting was called, where the building committee presented more detailed plans. Attorney A. C. Wood recommended that a corporation to be known as the Angola Community Building Company be organized. Major Shaughniss was selected as president, and the previous building committee was endorsed and instructed to proceed with the completion of the plans and the erection of the building. A finance committee consisted of P. A. Emerson, Ed Williamson, and Herb Menzenberger, to whom was delegated the task of raising funds. The building committee then employed W. A. Hunker as superintendent of construction. During the fair week vacation, boys of the high school volunteered work ami began excavation for the basement, and dug trenches for tin foundation and walls. The building committee then called for bids and let the contracts tor the foundation and materials for construction. C. A. Redding, chairman ot the building committee, took charge of the work in person, and the success of the project is due to his tireless efforts to get the building enclosed and ready for use during the present year. Much credit is due to carpenters and helpers, whose inteiest in the undertaking prompted them to put in extra louts and expend extra ene'gy to hasten the work. The dedicatory ceremonies were held on January 27-211. On the opening evening the school children gave a program. This was followed on the next afternoon and evening by a series of basket ball games, with the formal d dication at a mass meeting Sunday afternoon. Since the day of the opening the building has been in constant use. Extensive improvements have been made in staging and scenery. The building can be changed quickly from an attractive auditorium with a seating capacity of 2,000, to an excellent gymnasium with a playing floor fifty by eighty feet, and room to adequately accommodate 1,500 spectators. Through the contribution of citizens, +0,300 was raised, of which +.),200 has been paid. The total cost of the building to date is approximately +12,000. The lot on which the building is located is leased to the Community Building Company. The Hoard of Education then rents the building from Ihe Community Corporation. The building is still unfinished, and as soon as the funds are available the brick veneer will be placed around the outer walls.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Br-r-r-r-ring! My sleep-befuddled senses again began to function and my rirst thought was to smother that bothering nuisance, the alarm clock, with my pillow. But I was wrong, 1 had no pillow. I had merely been day dreaming in my easy chair. And that alarm clock, turned out to be my telephone which I went to answer. “Yes,” I answered, “I was loafing on the job, in fact dreaming. But suppose I relate my dream. It starts with myself and eighteen ot hers reluctantly entering the first grade. We were under the guiding hand of Miss Mathews, whom we soon found understood us very well and was a fine teacher. Then we went on thru grades under various teachers, some of whom we liked and one or more not so well liked. But as 1 look back I find they were really all fine people and good teachers, although we misunderstood them at times. Then how eager and proud we were when we got our diploma which proclaimed to the world our privilege to enter High School. Most of us did enter, some leaving our ranks and new ones entering. Even while we were still subject to the usual ridicule bestowed upon Freshmen, we began to prove our ability. We soon established a record for parties and social affairs. Then from our lines emerged individuals who distinguished themselves as orators, debators, essayists, and athletes. There were prominent students in every phase of school activities. Then came our graduation. There were left in our Senior Class only about seven or eight of the original group which first started. Of these I remember the following: Pauline Ransburg, Allee Miller, Carl Mast, Wayne Adams, Earl Greenley, and Wayne Swift. Your untimely ring of the telephone interrupted me in the act of receiving my desired diploma with the most dignified and man-of-the-world air I could assume.
